Jagdamba Kirana & General Store

Jagdamba Kirana & General Store is situated right at the Bus Stand in Bindayaka on Sirsi Road. It’s a place where we spend most of our waking hours. We sell the usual things like grains, sugar, and daily necessities. The shop is quite packed because we try to fit in as much as we can. It’s not always the neatest place, but we know where the salt is and where the soaps are kept. Working near the bus stand means it’s never really quiet. There is always someone looking for a quick snack or a bottle of water before they catch their ride. We try to be quick so they don't miss their bus. We are just local people running a local business. There isn't any big corporate strategy here. We just buy what people ask for and put it on the shelf. Some days are slower than others, especially when it rains. Then we just clean up or reorganize the back room. The Sirsi Road area is growing, but our shop stays pretty much the same. It’s a reliable spot for the folks around here. We appreciate the people who come back week after week. It’s hard work, standing all day, but it’s what we do. We just keep going and hope the stock lasts until the next weekend. We like the rhythm of this place and the people we meet. It’s just a regular life for us here in Bindayaka.
